Critic Reviews
By Murillo Zerbinatto
Much of what Black Myth: Wukong promised, it delivers: spectacular visuals, a reenactment of Sun Wukong’s story, and a swift, seamless combat style. On the other hand, the game’s plot and storytelling lean far too heavily on knowledge of the source material, Journey to the West, which may alienate those unfamiliar with it.

A spectacle like Black Myth: Wukong happens once per videogame generation. This epic anthropomorphic adventure of the Monkey King is a true labour of love, that presents grand story, wonderfully authentic soundtrack, addictively punchy combat and does the whole videogame process a bit differently. It is full of surprises, excruciatingly hard bosses and it just simply looks amazing. Few downsides and tiny imperfections can't really ruin this almost perfect experience, that makes you want to stay for just one more try!

Black Myth: Wukong doesn't do anything particularly new, its gameplay is heavily inspired by FromSoftware's work, and its technical quality can drop to miserable levels, but if you can get past that, the skill and artistic ingenuity in this Chinese Souls-like game is irresistible.

Black Myth: Wukong is, without a doubt, worth buying. It has an incredible story, along with fantastic combat and beautiful locations and designs, despite the issues of the frames. But they should’ve simmered down on the number of boss fights. Game of the Year 2024? Sure – there’s enough to this to make it into the conversation.
